Healthy athletes, Healthy communities!

Promoting safe physical activity through sports, health, and research.

About Us

We exist to bridge the gap in athlete healthcare in Cameroon. We deliver sports medicine, healthcare, and research to ensure athletes can perform and thrive. Through our work, we contribute to building healthier communities through sport. SPORTSMED Foundation was founded in 2024 by Dr. Tankeng Leonard a young sport medicine physician in Cameroon.

Across many African communities, athletes face significant challenges that threaten both their health and their potential. Sports injuries are often poorly managed, access to qualified sports medicine professionals remains limited, and preventive strategies are rarely implemented at grassroots and professional levels.

For many young athletes, particularly in football, sport represents more than competition it is a pathway to education, opportunity, and a better future. Yet, without proper medical support and guidance, injuries, untreated conditions, and inadequate health systems can prematurely end promising careers and negatively impact long-term well-being.

SPORTSMED Foundation was created to bridge this gap. We exist to ensure that athletes are not only able to perform, but to do so safely, sustainably, and with access to appropriate medical care and evidence-based support. By combining sports medicine, healthcare, and research, we aim to build safer sporting environments, empower athletes and coaches, and contribute to the development of stronger, healthier communities through sports. No athlete should lose their dreams because of preventable or poorly managed injuries or health conditions.
